“I gained your love
then lost my mind.
what a bargain.
I love you impossibly
loving you,
my heart is holding more than it can
loving you,
is making me more than I am
your beauty is more than what my soul can bear
When I am dying of thirst
you are water
When I am drowning to death
you are breath
I love you impossibly
I love you impossibly
I'd trade my limbs to hold you
I'd trade my eyes to see you”
Amir Sulaiman

Blaise Pascal
